A four-bedroom apartment in panelled ivory and sage velvet, with an oval of light cut into the ceiling of every main room.

The whole home is built on classical proportion brought up to date: wall panelling and cornice in off-white, polished stone floors, brushed brass sconces, and an oval cove recessed into the ceiling over the living room and the dining table. Sage green velvet carries through the seating and the tufted dining chairs, set against a marble table and a marble television wall so the colour never has to compete. The foyer sets the tone immediately — a mirrored console with an X-frame stool, full-height panelled storage, and venetian blinds filtering the light. Behind the living room, a dressing corridor is lined in bronze-tinted mirror and fluted glass, turning the walk to the master bedroom into part of the design. The bedroom itself stays quiet: an upholstered panel headboard, a recessed light trough, and wardrobes that run flush to the ceiling.
